Hello

[jchpiper]

Greetings from NC, USA,

My name is Carol.

I heard about Tentmaker via a yahoo listserve and via The Beautiful Heresy discussion board.

I first heard about CU around March, 2007.  It prompted me to not throw out the bible and has gotten me searching it again.  I am enjoying Tom Talbott's research immensely and enjoying some online discussions with other CU as well as reading other material here and there on the web.

I don't know if I will post much, simply because of the time factor.  But folks have posted links to threads I can't read unless I'm registered. :Sparkletooth: So....waalaa!!!! 

I look forward to reading..... :thumbsup:

cheers and blessings,
~carol

Welcome Carol!

Welcome :girlheart:

Cool.   :thumbsup:

We (hubby, myself, and the 2 offspring) lived in Charlotte for a year near McAlpine Park, if you know where that is.  We moved from there in 1997.

I worked at Discovery Place for about 5 years (97ish through 2001ish)  as a Camp-In presenter in the rain forest and then as on on-site Camp-In director. The Camp-In activities were canned a few years ago. All that to say that if you ever visited a Camp- In, we may have met.   :Sparkletooth:

Thanks for the welcome!

[hopeful]

Hey, Carol.  :Sparkletooth:  Can you tell me about being a camp- in director/presenter?  What is that?  Like a ranger?

[jchpiper]

Hi Hopeful..  :bigGrin:

No, not a ranger.  :happy3: Discovery Place is a science center in Charlotte, NC.  It used to be the biggest in the Southeast, but I don't know about now.

Camp-In was a program druing the fall and spring of each year where groups (school, scout, church, etc.) of up to 400 people would spend the night in the museum. Each year we had a Camp-In theme which presentations would revolve around. 

Each presenter would hold a 45ish minute class.  Groups of 25 or so would rotate between the classes. We had about 4 different classes each year revolving around the theme. 

A director did lots of behind the scenes set-up etc.,overseeing "stuff" and would handle any "issues" that might arise.  With 250 to 400 people, something always came up.  :grin:

That's it in a nutshell!

I think the timing is quite "interesting."

Yes hopeful.  Probably "interesting" is an understatement.  :mshock: :happygrin:

Hey again Carol.....I'll give you a hint........I live where Dale Earnhardt grew up? :winkgrin:

Do you know where that is?  :Sparkletooth:

I'm trying to recall, did Dale grow up around Kanapolis? I was thinking too, he spent time around Conover....or is that one of those other drivers.

My mom grew up in Balls Creek. Her daddy was one of the founding men for the Camp Meeting. Mom's maiden name is Drum.  If you live anywhere around Conover,  surely you've met some Drums?  lol

I grew up in Hickory.   :Sparkletooth:

btw:  My life is pretty much an open book anymore, so I don't mind sharing certain personal info....even online...ooooooooooo.   :happygrin:
